Keith's sound in 72 can't be matched in the other years he was on tour with them. He was fantastic in 76-77 but the drugs really started affecting his performance by late 77.

Best Phil show I've herd was from Roosevelt in August of 76. He's turned up really high in the mix and is going crazy throughout the entire show. Just a personal opinion from me but there are some great 69 shows from him as well as 73 and too... he was always consistent in his performances

Bobby really found his groove by 72, it's just a great time for the band and they we're all really clicking. Really like his jazzy sound in 73... The Field Trip is one of his best performances

Donna sounds like a squirrel in most of her early performances... like her in nov/december of 73 but she really started shining in June of 1976 from there on until 1978... Her singing was so beautiful and really added to the mellowness that was 1976

Really like Billy as the solo drummer from 72-74... he added a lot even without Mickey being there

Jerry... :-)
